With the NFL labor committee that is. His work with the Broncos is far from finished.

Bowlen, the Broncos’ owner since March 1984, had also served the past 10 years as the co-chairman of the league’s labor committee, along with Carolina owner Jerry Richardson.

With the owners and players able to work out a new collective bargaining agreement in July that will extend for 10 years, Bowlen has joined Richardson in stepping away from their leadership roles.

New York Giants’ owner John Mara will chair the league’s labor committee.

“After helping to lead extremely demanding labor negotiations during the last few years, Mr. Bowlen has elected to pass the torch,” said Broncos spokesman Patrick Smyth. “He’s grateful for the opportunity to be part of the process that yielded 10 years of labor peace.”

Bowlen will continue to serve on the league’s compensation, broadcasting and NFL Network committees. And he will continue to work on trying to fix a Broncos franchise that is 1-4 this year and hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2005.
